yeah. polenta is gross. and i don't like tofu or tempeh either so you can skip those recipes too. :)
The way this vegetarian cooking is going... I think someone's getting a grilled portobello cap while the rest of us have steak.
dude. you don't have to get fancy. think pasta or mexican. there are many mexican recipes that are already vegetarian or can just leave out the meat (or substitute black beans) and the flavor is still there.
